Awesome Trip Experience
Half Day Trip – Shared - 11:30 AM on September 20, 2026 • 2 adults

Both my partner and I caught two baby sharks along with a couple of the red Indo snapper? our captain Andrew for the day was supper chilled and took care of us very well from untangling lines to rebating when needed and not to mention the snacks packed were pretty good too. We definitely would love to come back to Airlie and do the same chater with Andrew and his team & a big thanks to Sam as well for organising all the baground work before hand for us. Appreciate you both, yous made our trip to Airlie for the weekend very worthwhile. Our freshly caught fillited fish was definitely the highlight for us!! worth every bite after a great day fishishing, couldn’t get any fresher than that!!! 🙌🍻 Would highly recommend going with the team at Get Out & About Whitsundays Fishing & Tours Until next time well wishes, Rineta & Brayden. ☺️

Great Half Day Trip
Half Day Trip – Shared - 11:30 AM on October 24, 2026 • 2 adults

Mine and my girlfriends first time sea fishing and her first time all together, we both caught nice fish with stacey grabbing the largest between us, which was filleted for us and taken home to put on the Barbie. Skipper was great and helpful for all ensuring we had a good time. This was our favourite day of our trip and we had done all of the main tourist attractions.

Full Day Trip – Shared on November 6, 2025 • 1 adult

Had a great day out with Andrew today! He asked me about my goals for the day: 1. Catch some different species. 2. Catch a good sized fish for a picture and to eat. 3. Hook into something big. Andrew brought me to different spots and on the fish. At the end of the day al boxes were ticked off. Caught quite a bit of different species, caught a nice size coral trout and got sharked by a big bull shark! Worth every dollar for the fishing and the good company by Andrew ;) Highly recommended!

Good fishing, great company, despite weather
3/4 Day Trip – Shared on July 9, 2026 • 2 adults

It is never easy to find fish when unusual weather sets in, but Andrew has a bunch of favourite spots from which he can pick and connected us to fish. The skipper made the trip interesting and enjoyable enough that when we found an opportunity to go out the next day, we grabbed it. We will be returning customers.

I've been fishing my whole life from the rocks in Mornington to the Goulburn River around Seymour, off the Jetty in Glenelg, 'till I was old enough to drive when I first came to Queensland to fish around the mouth of the Don River. Fishing is my life, and I love to share my knowledge with people every day.
